More details to this question:
I have a roommate. We made up our own contract. She is subleasing a room & wants to move out earlier than the contract date. If the contract states she is liable through a certain date, but the contract is not notarized, would that still stand as a legal document in court of North Carolina? As a legitimate contract between roommates..

Assuming that your roommate admits signing the paper, the writing may be enforced according to its terms so long as the other requirements for a legally binding contract are present. In other words, a written agreement does not have to be notarized to be enforceable.
